prior to the launch of the Apollo CSM. Apollo then maneuvered to rendezvous and
docking 52
hours after the Soyuz launch. The Apollo and Soyuz crews conducted a variety of experiments
over a two-day period. After separation, Apollo remained in space an additional 06 days. Soyuz
returned to Earth approximately 43 hours after separation.
